The bridge near Yorkmont was replaced this morning.  If you ride Renni regularly, you may have noticed the existing bridge was sagging on the left side.  Here are photos of the work:

Looks great guys! Thanks for doing that. I had noticed that bridge was looking a little rickety.

Great work.  Hope to help maintain out there.  I ride there at least once a week.  How can we get Renny listed on the home page like Beatty, SB, FF, LNSP, WWC?

Thanks,

Justin

Ride to have fun and enjoy the scenery, not to set records…

Packed and ready to roll…
